A New York Times Editors' Choice
"The spirit of Eudora Welty broods over these adroitly crafted stories
set in and around coastal Alabama, evoking a world coiled tight as a
conch shell." --O Magazine
"Impressive...Knight pays careful, writerly attention to the details
of desperation."--New York Times Book Review
An instant regional bestseller, Eveningland is Alabama-born Michael
Knight's powerful short story cycle whose seven stellar tales illuminate
the everyday beauty and heartache of life along the shores of serene,
history-haunted Mobile Bay, in the years preceding a devastating
hurricane.
A thought-provoking and deeply satisfying reading experience,
Eveningland evokes the Old South without sentimentalizing its loss.
--Washington Independent Review of Books
